Robin's regrets? As Us Weekly predicted before the big, unforgettable show, Robin Thicke tapped Miley Cyrus to croon "Blurred Lines" onstage with him at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn for the MTV Video Music Awards Sunday, Aug. 25 -- but, as the world now knows, the 20-year-old starlet arguably stole the show. Clad in a tiny leotard (before stripping down to her underwear) the former Hannah Montana star preceded Thicke's entrance onstage with a raunchy, manic take on her smash "We Won't Stop" -- complete with giant teddy bears, twerking, tongue and hip thrusts and more.

No "Tearin' Up My Heart" or "It's Gonna Be Me"?! 'N Sync fans worldwide had a boy-band-gasm when, as anticipated, the quintet reunited for their first televised performance together in a decade to perform a condensed version of "Bye, Bye, Bye" at the MTV Video Awards at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Sunday, Aug. 25. Still, some were crestfallen that the reunion, squeezed into Justin Timberlake's 15-minute solo set -- all part of his Video Vanguard honor -- was so brief.

Taylor Swift is up to her old tricks again. The 23-year-old pop star -- known for writing those infamous breakup tunes -- dissed One Direction's Harry Styles, this time at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Memorable performances by some of today's biggest stars -- including Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus and Justin Timberlake -- gave way to one hell of a night at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, Aug. 25. Check out the highlights from the show in the round-up below.

A picture is worth a thousand words, ay? Will Smith and his famous kids Jaden and Willow were caught by an audience cam watching Lady Gaga's typically outre performance at the Sunday, Aug. 25 MTV Video Music Awards in Brooklyn, NY. The 44-year-old father and Jaden, 15, cringed, as Willow, 12, also looked confused during Gaga's multiple costume changes (including a square hood) for her "Applause" show opener inside the Barclays Center.
